Where I really am...
Today I went by Hallmark. I grabbed a basket, Put 2 Donald Ducks (cutest ever) and 1 Webkins in and started looking for cards. I needed 6 to get the low price for the ducks and it took me a while. I kept wandering around, so I was there for a while. By the time I checked out, I was so tired that I was quivering, not to mention sweating. I was so happy to be able to get in my car and sit. Holy Crap, is this really where I am at? I can't go shopping? It has taken me almost 30 mins to return to normal. I just can't believe I have reduced myself to this.
I haven't been very strict with my calories this week. I have been walking. But it wipes me out so much. It was never this hard and I have been this size for a while. I guess it is all finally catching up. I am thinking of breaking it into smaller sessions (20 min) and walking 2 or 3 times a day.
I think it's time to become super strict. What's next if I don't? A scooter? Not as long as I have a breath in my body!
I think things would improve significantly of I could get under 300 and according to my current 1% loss per week plan, that will take about 5 months, but truth be told, if I REALLY did this, I could do it in more like 3 1/2 or 4.

I started out far worse off than you in terms of my ability to walk, but found that building up a little every day has worked wonders. I tried the treadmill, but it didn't have the same impact as really walking. I think that you support your weight differently when you walk for real.
I also started off slightly heavier than you (around 380) and am now around 280. If your situation is like mine, you will move significantly better once you get around 300 lbs. or a bit less.
Good luck!
I had this experience as well when I was heavier. I could barely walk around the mall I was so exhausted and I would get so red and sweaty in the face. The mall was a large one, but I could still only go to like two stores.
I couldn't walk twenty minutes at a time, so I had to break it up into three ten minute walks and this really helped a lot.
Good luck with this Sandi; you can do it! You will notice a huge difference at 300 I think. I'm rooting for you!
Sandi, I know it's hard, but keep going! I know you can do this!!
I worry that you keep talking about being "super strict" - I always found that setting myself up for "perfection" tended to backfire.
Aim for your calorie goal of 1600 calories, but don't try to be "perfect" it is impossible!
How about setting up goals and then rewarding yourself when you reach those goals. Like, if you are on plan for 5 days, you get something nice? Then, you are rewarded for positive behavior!
Best Wishes,
Glory
